Abstract
It is difficult to strike a balance between the challenges of research based on open source information (OSINF) and the benefits the society will have from this type of research. The potential harms to individuals need to be clearly identified and addressed, while recognizing that shortcomings might derive from: (i) the very nature of the research (e.g., using social media as the source for the collected data), and (ii) the data protection legal framework. The challenges and the effects that research conducted on the basis of open source information has for individuals are briefly discussed below.
